With spots in Austin and Phoenix, Salty Sow draws diners with its expertly crafted American gastropub fare. Under the watchful eye of chef Harold Marmulstein, both locations fully incorporate a market-driven menu with handcrafted meats, locally grown vegetables, and homemade bread. At his Beard House dinner last month, Marmulstein served up a menu replete with his acclaimed farmhouse eats, including this decadent course of Linz Filet Mignon Rossini meats with foie gras, morels, and a bone marrow–red wine sauce. Deeply flavored and mindfully sourced, this dish had us dreaming of a third location right here in New York.

This hearty buffalo steak recipe comes from the menu at 8100 Mountainside Bar & Grill, where chefs Pascal Coudouy and Reese Hay thrill snow bunnies and foodies alike against a backdrop of the stunning Rocky Mountains. Paired with morels and roasted garlic, this meat has all the brawn of beef.
